Lonely boy lyrics.

"Lonely Boy"

Well I’m so above you
And it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should’ve done you just the same
But I came to love you
Am I born to bleed?
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Hey!

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy
I’m a lonely boy
Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Planned location inspiration

This first location we took inspiration from was a quiet road with a few, but not too many, houses in the background. This plays along with the idea of there being people around but our characters still a 'lonely boy'.  

The next location we took inspiration from was a forest, allowing space for our characters, whilst keeping within the theme. This is because it is a quiet and secluded location and plays on the idea of a 'lonely boy'. However in this case he's feeling like no one else is there and he has no one around him whilst he's 'waiting'.  

The last  location we took inspiration from is a empty house with the odd  bit  of furniture - maybe just a few chairs. This plays on the idea of, once again the character being a 'lonely boy' but also, him waiting for the girl in a house which he perhaps wants to move into one day with the girl. Or on the other hand he's 'waiting' for the girlfriend to end it and he's packed everything up ready to move out.

Some photos of the locations we used

In these photos you can see roughly the main locations we used throughout our filming.

In these two photos you can see us preparing the bus stop scene. We had to get the timing perfect to get the effect we wanted of when a bus/lorry drives past it swipes to a closer shot of the watch to emphasise the idea of waiting. You can see the houses in the background of the shot but no one is around for him so even though people live around him, he still has no one. Also with it being at a bus stop it portrays the idea that maybe the girl was meant to be getting a bus to him and even the bus isn't turning up. 

In this photo below you can see the end scene preparation where we tired to get the idea of the male protagonist walking off into the sunset, perhaps indicating he finally got the answer he'd been waiting for but the audience doesn't know anything for sure. This also, with the sunset, uses pathetic fallacy as the audience realise that its coming to a end and somethings occurred for him to walk off into the sunset. 

In the last photo of the camera you can also see us playing around with the rule of thirds for the date night and the actual setting for the date night. We tried to get it to look romantic so that it portrays how much effort he's going to for her to not bother turning up. This adds a bit of sympathy for him as the audience watch him sit on his own knowing his dates not going to turn up.

Our storyboard for our music video

This is my rough plan for my music video to the song 'Lonely boy' by the Black Keys. Below is a more accurate storyboard to exact timings of the song:

Between these two story boards we give a rough idea of camera angles, location and what characters will appear and when. We aimed to follow this storyboard throughout however after reflecting on it we  recorded a few extra different shots to show variety and good knowledge of other camera shots and angles that were suited to the situation. However the storyboard was very useful because we knew what shots we had to do with the understanding that we still could cut a few scenes out and swap them for what we thought was more suiting at the time of recording. Also following to times in the more detailed storyboard was also very suiting because for the performance aspect we knew what lyrics, beats, etc to follow.
